Edge formations in motion. Supplement to the recently posted photo.

For the vast Bailly crater it's not that exciting, but for the Hausen, Le Gentil, and Drygalski craters behind it, it's practically a visual "to be or not to be". They are so rarely visible that it is impossible to miss this lunation moment.

The weather conditions were good, the phase and the lighting associated with it as well, the progressive southwestern libration set the southern edge of the Silver Globe as if for a parade - with panache.

The accelerated movement of the edge formations shows the swaying of the Silver Globe in an unusual way. The impression of spatial structure of the structures is enhanced - the height becomes more important. Apart from the above-mentioned phenomena, I am impressed by the change in the shape of the very edge of the Moon - the appearance of hills and valleys, their shifting along a narrow coastal strip - revealing an additional geometric context that changes a flat image into a three-dimensional panorama of the coastline.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
